The first stop will be at the Carver Hanger for breakfast. For those that don't know, Carver Hanger has good ol' country style food and is a beacon for local Hot Rodders. If it gets too busy, there is another decent breakfast place about a block away.

Those coming from other locations:

You're welcome to follow the schedule for the Portlander group. Although, jumping in at the Rally at the meetup point in Estacada is the only really important part.

The main strip in Detroit, OR features a very nice, but small motor motel that's been recently renovated. There is a good deal of recent construction. There's a grocery story, gas station, boat marina with rentals, campgrounds, a nice comfortable bar/lounge serving micro brews, pool tables. There are also several restaurants as well as vacation rental property.

SAFETY NOTICES:

1. This rally is a group drive, not a race!

2. The road surface conditions can change without notice. There can be wildlife, downed trees, fallen rocks, or fluke weather conditions on the roadway at any moment. Drive defensively.

3. There will be long stretches of road without cell phone service. Because of this, you are urged to stay clustered with other cars for support. Should you break down, or get into an accident in the middle of the Mt. Hood National Forest, it could be hours before you get help.

4. You'll be a long ways from home. That tow bill will hurt your wallet and take a long time. Drive spirited, but not like you stole it. If your car is in any kind of questionable state, think hard about getting stuck in the woods.

5. Value your life. There are corners on this road that can kill. Lean towards overly cautious because there is no reset button.

6. This is not a slammed/stanced/bagged friendly route. This is not a car show. Think about spinning those coilovers up, you're going to need the suspension travel. If you're holding up traffic because you have to crawl over every little bump, then please find the nearest turnout to let traffic pass.

I heard that the owner of this B5 picked it up for a steal. A well-bought steal at that. White with a very uncommon lack of a feature, it's a slicktop. That's the first time I've seen a Passat without a sunroof.

Allan bought this E21 323i TC1 Baur from me and has poured himself into getting it cleaned up. I bought it as a mostly disassembled car with a frozen motor. Allan has brought this rare car back from being a parts car, to road-worthy. This made my car-year.

A rare sight. An original E21 M20B23, CIS motor. A twist of fate brought this motor to this car. Formerly from another friend's hardtop 323i, it found it's way to me, and went with the Baur to Allan. The Baur had a frozen M20B27 ETA, so this is a very nice turn of events.
